SAVED FROM DESTRUCTION.
Fire in Nordyke & Marmon's Foundry That
Came Near Proving Disastrous.

a very dangerous looking fire broke out in
Nordyke e. Marmors foundry at IL o'clock last
night, and for a time it seemed like the entire
shops of the company, covering several acres of
ground, might be destroyed. The fire originated
the large boiler house. which is situated south
of the main buildings, and connected
with them by sheds Adjoining the
boiler-house is a brick structure used
for storing shavings By some means a spark
from the englne-room is supposed to have
reached the combustible material. At o'clock
the night Waterman discovered blaze in the
upper room of the shavings building. He called
ont the men living near the works, and the
fire was extinguished, as they thought Two
hours later, while he was in another part
of the building, the flames burst from the roof
of the boiler house. He called out all the
ployes living Lear, over one hundred In number,
but they saw they could do nothing. and tele-
phone message sent to the fire department
asking for help. Chief Webster. with the chem
ical, hose reel and two engines, went out, and
by splendid work checked the flames before they
spread to any of the adjoining buildings.

The men, with buckets had done good work be-

The west half of the boiler house partly
destroyed and the machinery was damaged con-
siderably. The total loss will perhaps be more
than 81. 900. The company carries large in
surance, and the damage will therefore be fully
covered.

surprised that Mr.. Sellers and Bailey fell out

evidence is in these cases. and that the guilty
men can be convicted if there is determination

in earnest in pursuit of the guilty, and deter
